Skip-the-Line Borghese Gallery Ticket & Guided Tour Options Discount Tickets

Overview

The Galleria Borghese admits a limited number of visitors in timed two-hour slots, and those slots sell out weeks ahead. This booking secures yours, with reserved entry and a licensed guide or audio guide included, so the hardest part of visiting Rome's most sought-after museum is already done before you arrive. Inside the villa, Bernini's marble seems to move: Apollo and Daphne mid-transformation, Pluto's fingers pressing into Proserpina's thigh, David twisting into the throw. Around them hang Caravaggio, Raphael and Titian, and Canova's reclining Pauline Bonaparte — room after room of the collection a seventeenth-century cardinal built to outshine every other in Rome. Choose a guided visit, with groups capped at 15 so you stay within earshot in rooms that fill quickly, or a ticket with an audio guide if you prefer your own pace. Morning, afternoon and evening slots are available: the last entries of the day are the quietest and the coolest.

FAQ:

Is entry included? Yes — pre-booked timed-entry admission is included. The Galleria Borghese admits a limited number of visitors in two-hour slots, so your reserved access is guaranteed.

How long is the tour? Approximately 2 hours. Please note: the tour booked for the 5:45 PM (17:45) slot lasts 1 hour instead of 2, due to the gallery's closing time.

Is a guide included? Depending on the option you select, the tour is led by an expert guide or accompanied by an audioguide.

How does the audioguide work? If you select the audioguide option, download the POP Guide app before arriving at the meeting point, and bring your own headphones. This way you're ready to start as soon as your tour begins.

Do I need to choose a time slot? Yes — the Galleria Borghese operates on mandatory timed entry. You'll enter at your reserved slot.

Are large bags allowed? No — large bags and backpacks must be left in the gallery cloakroom before entering.
